Part of the Harbor Restaurant Group family of restaurants, which includes Destin Chops 30A and Marina Cafe, Crush promises to meet high expectations of delicious food and hip, sophisticated atmosphere.  

Additionally, Crush will have a beautiful terrace with south of France-style striped awnings and lounging seating outside (COOL!) which is currently being built, which will truly enhance the space. Can't wait!
